Back to Basics – Fried Dumplins 4/4

August 19, 2015

Carnival

It was fried dumplin and plantain that kept me going during carnival. With 9 hours of non stop partying and a metabolism that continued to churn the fat 3 days later any nourishment was necessary. I am an intense reveller, meaning when I start to dance I do not slow down or stop until the party is done. Blisters on my feet and aching hips. Totally worth it.

Ingredients:

450g self – raising flour, 2 tsps sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 300ml water

Method:

Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a large bowl.

Add the milk and mix and knead until the smooth dough forms.

Divide the dough into ten balls kneading each with floured hands.

Heat a little oil in a non stick frying pan over medium heat.

Place half the dumplins in the pan, reduce the heat and fry for about 15 minutes on both sides until golden brown.
